Serious Thinking


serious thinking, originally uploaded by Adrian Tan.

I know what you're thinking...NO! We're not a gay couple that just had a fight....no no no...We were just trying to solve the world's problem...
Just a candid shot taken my Eu Jin's (left) sister. Decided to edit it a little bit...not bad, aye?

Full Moon


Full Moon, originally uploaded by Adrian Tan.

Well, I took this photo last weekend, it didn't turn out as nice. The left side of the moon is not really sharp. I was comparing this shot and the shot taken at Lassen...although the one taken in Lassen wasn't a full moon, but I think that one was a lot nicer than this. I tried to crop this an enlarge the moon, but it turned out to be so grainy and blur. I was thinking so damn hard...how did I do it last time to make the moon so much bigger (not necessarily sharper..) and nicer..compared to this one. Then, suddenly it hit me...Lassen shot was taken 8000 feet above sea level...of course the moon will be bigger, versus this one taken in San Jose...3 stories above ground!!! Am I right or wrong?

Plane Across The Sky

Can't belive it...after more than a month...finally another picture posted up from my Lassen trip.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, what you see in the picture it's not a bird and it's not even superman...just a plane across the sky. I thought it was pretty cool so I snapped it. If you follow the end of the trail...you can actually see the moon...real moon! Haha.. Obviously, I did some editing to make it look like this.

Evening reflection


evening reflection, originally uploaded by Adrian Tan.

Maybe I should post one picture up from my Lassen trip...what can I say? Perhaps my mood is good tonight!

I don't know what to tell you guys about my trip, but it was great. Usually my regular camping spot will be at Pantai Kerachut, Penang. Sometimes, Muka Head and once at Teluk Kampi. How cold can those places get? 28 C? Also, I'll sleep like 4-5 hours per night during my camping trips back in those days. But this trip...was really different.

Coldest? How about 0 C? I refused to use a sleeping bag at first. I guess I lost my $10 to Lin. Don't get me wrong...it was pretty comfortable sleeping in the tent at 0 C...and I slept for more than 7 hours! Among all the camping trips I've had, this was the most comfortable...the longest rest I've had...and the most I ate too!...oh...and also the shortest.

We reached our camp site about 2-3pm. Pitched our tents up...and started a fire. Besides a few trips to the lake (picture) in the afternoon, evening and at night...all we did was EAT...yes ..EAT! Between 3pm to about 6pm...we took our time to barbeque some sausages...etc...between 8-11pm...we BBQ sausages, corn, baked beans...oh and steak too. Next morning, woke up at around 7.30 am...started the fire...and guess what...HANTAM some more food!

At night was cool though. Everyone was sitting around the fire, telling unsuccessful ghost stories...haha...I was just sitting there, sipping my Corona and Vodka...life felt good at that moment.

Actually right before we went to sleep, I wanted to take a walk towards the lake again, to snap some 3-4 mins exposure shots of the sky. But it was so dark... I was too lazy.... I had no one to go with me...Vodka was too good...wanted to enjoy the fire...too cold...feet hurts...not enough torchlights...................



OK, I had no balls to go by myself in the dark. Happy?

Chasing car


Chasing car, originally uploaded by Adrian Tan.

Well, I wanted to edit this pic and post it up long long time ago, but I tend to find excuses not to do it. This was the last shot taken on our down from Yosemite. Lin was driving the car down on a never ending winding road, all I had to do was to secure my camera on my right wrist with the strap, popped my head out, and snap! Oh..I don't think I was wearing the seat belt! If I want to sit my ass down and spend the whole day editing, I'm sure that I'll have more pictures to put up. I'll think about it ;)

I just came back from a wonderful camping trip at Lassen Volcanic National Park. It was a short trip! Only two days and one night. Stay tuned for pictures...lol...hopefully it wont be too long.

Stinking feet


feet, originally uploaded by Adrian Tan.

So...out Yosemite trip was awesome! The only complain? It was too damn short. Six of us went on the trip...3 days and 2 nights...1 van...3 cameras..and freaking 575 pictures! Like I told some of you before...that would make up almost 18 rolls of film back in the olden days.

I managed to edit just a few pictures. Hopefully I can dig out a few more nice ones to post it here. I don't know what to tell you guys about my trip...probably too much to tell. Well...just awesome...will go back there someday again.

ZzZzz...

Good 'ol Kansas!


pwheel, originally uploaded by Adrian Tan.

Come to think about it, I've been living in Kansas for more than 2 years now...such a long time! During that period, I don't think that I've posted any pictures of Kansas before huh? Well, I don't think there are anything interesting to take anyway. As most of you know, you'll get to see lotsa corn fields, wheat fields, farming and etc around Kansas, central and even midwest of USA...again, really nothing interesting...just FLAT.

I've been traveling between Iola and Wichita every weekend, one day I noticed the same road that I've been traveling, does have a pretty nice scenery. I stopped on the side and took a couple of shots. I took this last year...somewhere November I think..can't remember. It's summer now and the view is a lot different.

Anyway, Lin Zhuang..you wanted to see some pics...these are for you bud!

Go ENGLANDDDDD !!!
